A Quest for Keith

Starting Dec. 27, 2006, an online campaign began to get Keith Hernandez back on the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ballot or at the very least, help his chances with the Veterans Committee in 2011. 11 Gold Gloves. 1 Golden Mustache. It will happen.

Just wanted to point out that this is actually a dark day in Mets history. We gain Johan but we lose David Newhan. He was signed by the Astros to a minor league deal. I hope the Mets will find another player with Rick Peterson locks so Rick isn't the only one sporting a Gene Wilder white 'fro.

The agent for Kosuke Fukudome said that the player would make up his mind on a major league team quickly after deciding to come to the United States. He was true to his word.

After deciding to play in the U.S. early Tuesday morning, Fukudome chose the Cubs' offer on Tuesday night, ESPN 1000 in Chicago reported.

The two sides have reportedly agreed on a four-year deal, but the exact dollar amount was still being worked out. Earlier media reports said that the Cubs were willing to pay the career .305 hitter between $12 million and $14 million per season.

The source says Haren is exactly the type of player the Twins want for Santana, a cheap frontline starter. It's known the Mets would hate to deal Reyes but they would get some value beyond Santana. Billy Beane is happy because he gets Reyes for one more year than he had Haren plus longtime favorite Mulvey. And, he's out of Crosby's contract.

The Denver Post reports the the Rockies are still in negotiations with catcher Yorvit Torrealba and relief pitcher Matt Herges. Torrealba's agent said his goal is to get a deal done by the end of this week. "We're getting closer and I think we're moving toward an agreement, soon, I hope," Torrealba's agent said. GM Dan O'Dowd confirmed that discussions have heated up, but stressed that bringing Torrealba back to Colorado is not a done deal.

"I think, honestly, had I decided to play and was faced with having to do it in New York or somewhere else, I honestly don't think I would have done it," he said. "I think that would have been the end for me, because it's just not worth [the pressures] and being away from my family."

Rock On! is an anthology of concert experiences within a historical context and I need to hear from you. My book, which will be published this winter, needs to be completed by end of this month so I really need your stories asap.

You don't have to be a writer and it doesn't matter who you saw - just need to know who you saw, where you saw them, and what happened on the way or afterwards.

Tell me your concert experiences (in 250 words or more), and send concert photos if you have them. If you want your name in the book, let me know; if not, let me know. Please feel free to forward this request to everyone you know with my contact info. Deadline is fast approaching! Time is of the essence - please step up for me. Email your stories to JonRockOn@aol.com

I don't like him. He stinks this year. He's old and fat. But, hey... if the Padres cut him I'd take a chance on him. He's won big games, and so what if he called the Mets a little league team in his lame ass bargain bin autobiography.

Yankees designated Mike Myers for assignment... if no one trades for him, maybe the Mets can pick him up. He has a funky delivery, semi-good numbers this year, and can add a lefty to the pen. Plus, he was in "Shrek," which is pretty cool. Too easy?

Keith Hernandez would never let his blog go a month before another post.________________________________________________________________________AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

We're going to stop the numbering of reasons because frankly there are way too many reasons to list why Keith Hernandez deserves to be in the Hall of Fame... so from now on look for catchy headlines and feel free to send your ideas and we'll post if it does Mex justice.

Congratulations to Jeff Gordon and his wife on their new daughter Ella. Ella will be sponsored by Dupont.

The NBA's Paul Pierce and Austin Powers star Verne Troyer got into an argument after Pierce addressed Troyer as "Mini Me." Luckily it was just a small argument, and ended shortly.

LeBron James has been appointed commissioner of The Bubblicious Ultimate Bubble Blowing League. Because no one knows more about having a bubble burst than LeBron James.

The NHL is hoping that new league wide uniforms will help boost interest in the sport. All five people watching on Versus will really appreciate the effort.

Many baseball fans are still talking about Sammy Sosa hitting his 600th career homerun. Enough already – put a cork in it. Congratulations Sammy – to think how many empty wine bottles that must have taken.

Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks suspects that two-time AL MVP Juan Gonzalez may have used steroids. Hicks also suspects that the earth may indeed orbit around the sun.

A monkey will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before an upcoming game at Fenway Park. She'll be the hairiest creature to take the mound in Boston since David Wells.

And a woman spent one million dollars on a conman pretending to be Pedro Martinez. The man was proven to be a fraud when it was discovered he could pitch.
